I'm not a programmer, but wonder if there's a simple script available that can sort the contents of a folder by date?

Depends on what you're working with and in what form you want the result. For example, to list filenames sorted by modification date using the shell:

	ls -t  /path/to/some/folder

Or if you're scripting the Finder, AppleMods' FinderExtras library <http://applemods.sourceforge.net> provides commands for sorting Finder references by name and date, e.g.:

--(library loading code omitted for clarity)

tell application "Finder" to set itemsRef to a reference to every item of folder "Documents" of home set sortedRefs to _FinderExtras's sortByDateModified(itemsRef)
